He obviously feels strongly about this, but I can't help thinking that he's playing the race card and it's backfiring.

whats the point in supporting a toothless organisation? to make everyone feel better?
|
|
By:
Seemed like everyone else who played supported it. Odious, despicable waste of a skin.

he doesn't support the fact it's hardly doing anything, i respect him for it

Ferg can't control his players

lescott didnt wear a t-shirt either.

maybe they will be more militant in future and refuse to play against racists !

his choc-ice jibe at Ashley Cole, whose mother is white, was characteristically stupid of him

Sir Alex Ferguson to BBC: "I'm disappointed with Rio Ferdinand not wearing t-shirt. It's an embarrassment for me and he will be dealt with."

By:
Good on him. Although on the swing side it wouldn't have looked great after the racist comments he made on Twitter.
Maybe a bit of hedging ones bets? |
|
By:
althought to be fair to rio he may tweet that he simply forgot to wear it
|
|
By:
Apparently his voicemail was full and therefore missed the incoming call to tell him to wear his t shirt. Mystery over ]

Cant see why they have to bow to the PFA/FA/UEFA/FIFA and support this and support that. It is entirely their perogative who and what cause they support.
They are doing a job thats it. A bit like the old bint that comes round the office every other week because she is doing the moonlight run for cancer and then doing a sky dive. **** off will you if I wish to support cancer or whatever charity/cause i will do it in my own time |

By:
Ferdinand's choc ice jibe is brought up but the "coconut" jibe made by the executive director of Football Against Racism in Europe (FARE), of which Kick It Out plays a major role, goes unmentioned.
I doubt either Ferdinand or Roberts would have had a problem wearing Show Racism the Red Card t-shirts. Why should they be forced to support a lame duck organisation? |

they have just about killed the organisation, years of hard work lost by a day of acton

Stuff the racism stuff. Bring in a respect rule. If you swear at a player, if you bring up comments about player with issues outside the game,
if you mention another players family, if you make comments about somebodys' weight,height, colour of hair or skin.........you get booked. Oooops forgot you cant. Because players, no matter their origin act like foul mouthed delinquents on the pitch. |

they cant expect to convert all the racists overnight, its a long hard job
who will take up the task now that they are not interested because rio got 9 months and terry got 4 games |

the referee has the power to award a free kick for ungentlemanly conduct at any time

Ungentlemanly conduct went out years ago, now unsporting behaviour

The thought police don't allow any dissenting voices,this is a new form of tyranny.

Rio is an idiot. Why is it ok for Man U fans to chant at Arsene that he is a paed_____e? perhaps Rio could devote his braincell to that. Makes the John Terry / Anton thing look irrelevant imho.

Wenger is not a member of this new sensitive special group that are deemed inferior and so need special protection.

What an arrogant,self centered ars* Ferdinand is. Hasnt been any good for years now and I expect his Man Utd career is over now.

![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() When Eric Cantona reacted to racist abuse at Crystal Palace a few years ago he was suddenly a hero to lots of people. Do you think it's important for players to take a stand? |
|
By:
rio probably thinks he,d be a hypocrite for wearing the tee shirt,
a man who spent fortunes backing films that encouraged and supported peoples steryotype views on black people rapp songs gangster culture drugs etc would then look a bit silly backing anti rascist campaigns |
|
By:
What should happen to Jason Roberts and Rio Ferdinand for not wearing the shirts??
If these were two white people, I would bet a large amount of money on them getting a lengthy ban (maybe even the police would get involved). I bet these two will not get a ban. If the FA want to stamp out racism, it is time for them to show they are not racists themselves. |

it must be strange if your bobby smith from walsend boys club,sat in the changing room when leroy walks in with a ghetto blaster on his shoulder blasting out gangster raps,wearing a back to front baseball cap covered from head to foot in gold chains with giant diamond earings and he throws you a kick it out tee shirt to wear,

On the BBC website is a full run down on the players who did not wear T-shirts and the reason why i.e. too hot or run out of t-shirts. WALOFS.

oh what a pandora's box these rufusniks have opened over racism -
may I ask what they actually want now hairshirts and self flagellation in the centre circle by white players and wholesale mass public apologies by millwall supporters you know you want it - you want fkn everything - spoilt over paid little babies these footballers the whole fkn lot of them - soccerball is so sick now!!! |
|
By:
I note that cry baby Anton Ferdinand didn't wear one either.
Mr and Mrs Ferdinand - you brought two despicable racist children into the world. is suspect you also spoilt them rotten because they seem to cry and kick out at the slightest thing that upsets them. A very sorry clan. |
